Truly inspiring talk from Maddow, speaking at UBC in Canada. I know I can sound angry and tired of America and its citizens but it's lovely to hear her share an American point of view that shares some hope.

Hey @durbin.senate.gov - thanks for making it clear to Canadians that you're complicit. It's impossible that you missed the governor reference that your Pedophile-in-Chief loves to throw around, but sure, repost it and praise him - you are PATHETIC. Keep your carp and your crap, love, Canada.
Forgive me for the crudeness, but Marsha Blackburn is a CUNT. Straight up, just an absolute, pedo-loving, rapist-supporting cunt. Americans, I beg you, stop electing bootlicking shitstains like this, your number of friends in the world are dropping so quickly.
The mens Hockey team can take those gold medals and shove them up their ass.
congrats to the mens hockey team for letting a demented 80 year old sex criminal steal your shine and make himself the center of your accomplishment
Everyone repeat after me: FUCK the team USA men's players. I bet you they went home to their wives & daughters after cheesing it up with a misogynistic rapist pedophile. Zero shame.

Seems like a frighteningly large portion of the US population don't actually hold any objective view of reality and just feel and think what they are told.
This is EXACTLY why the rest of the world is turning away and losing trust. Global power should not be in the hands of lemmings and zombies.
"I actually wrote that speech," is actually one of the funniest lines. Also it's crazy that Prime Minister Carney is holding two most important treasures in the world right now: Hudson Williams and The Fleece. Man, it's crazy being Canadian rn ππ

Turns out they didn't think all lives matter
If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week
Pipe down, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social. If YOUR American system of checks and balances actually worked, we (the rest of the world) wouldn't even HAVE to deal with this bullshit. Smarten up and shut up with your insufferable American haughtiness. Americans, dear gods, don't vote for this asshole.
TLDR; I hate this timeline, but I always come back to this:
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
End./
This morning's news catch-up gave me a weird flutter of hope. Watching world leaders today, they seem to be finally saying the quiet part out loud: a line has been crossed. The old rules-based order can't survive this new US government. So we rebuild together. Ready for another thread post? 1/
What youβre seeing now: the invasions, annexations, tariffs, isn't "strength." These are the violent flailings of a collapsing power. The American era may be over, and the rest of the world is preparing to weather the fallout of its decline. The hope is that we'll survive it's final desperate moves.
Outside of the American media bubble, countries are taking these moves for exactly what it is: a threat to global survival. Other countries are now spinning up armies and finding ways no longer to work WITH America, but to exist AROUND it. The era of trusting the U.S.A. as a stable partner is over.
As for me, I am exploring every option to defend my new home: either the Regular Force, Primary Reserve, or the newly announced 300,000-person Civil Defense Corps, or something else. Iβm sharing simply to raise awareness that this is a serious issue and that other nations now have to respond to you.
American friends, this is a plea. Get rid of your ancient complacent Democrats who think this is "fine" or how they just need to "win the midterms". It's NOT fine. Run against them. Support candidates who are running to remove and legally punish these creeps and criminals. Demand REAL opposition.
Americans: YOUR government is destroying the world order. I moved away to escape the circus, but that insanity has exploded past U.S. borders and now affects countries who have never voted for him, who aren't even in your hemisphere, who do not deserve the circus that it brings.
No, these are NOT jokes. They are trying to see what you'll allow. It's not just Minnesota, or Chicago. For those paying attention, it feels like what 1933 was like: history repeating itself. To see if the citizens are too busy or angry to recognize a global threat and allow it to keep existing.
- Threatening Colombia and Cuba with similar military "interventions".
- Imposing 10β25% tariffs on 8 NATO allies just for opposing the Greenland takeover.
- Launching a "shock and awe" bombing campaign to capture the leader of Venezuela, then parading him around like some won prize.
For those who have not paid attention, here is the reality of what the U.S. is doing right now beyond your borders:
- Threatening to invade Greenland "whether they like it or not" to fulfill an expansionist fantasy.
- Publicly discussing the annexation of Canada and turning it into a "51st state".
I know what you're saying: "I didn't vote for him." The fact is, he was voted in TWICE. That includes the 35% who didnβt vote, and it includes the 41% of swing voters who felt it was TOO HARD to choose between a fascist and a black woman. Apparently it's so difficult to make that choice, huh.
I am horrified of half the population. Iβm tired of hearing βheβs not seriousβ or βitβs just a jokeβ from my American friends. While some friends ARE actively doing things, the rest seem too comfortable to admit how their government is actively threatening the world beyond just your borders.
I feel a PROFOUND sense of shame for where I come from. I grew up being told it that America was the "greatest country in the world," only to realize it is grouind zero for what could be the world's next fascist movement. The "checks and balances" we were promised were in place are NONEXISTENT.
Iβve reached a breaking point. I can no longer sit on the sidelines and watch a literal wannabe orange dictator tilt the world toward outright war. Today, Iβm sharing that I am officially reaching out to a Canadian Army recruiter to explore my options to do SOMETHING. To do ANYTHING. Here's why.
hahaha nope not me but yes you should come π
Hope everyone is doing alright, esp w/ the awful news & violence over the past day. FYI - I will be posting more on my poli-alt in the near term. But if youβre interested in getting more political, Canada-focused posts, feel free to DM for the handle. Otherwise, pls get involved, and stay safe. π
Seriously: Impeach and remove. Trump is now Putin and the USA is a now a bonafide dictatorship. Starting a war without Congress is impeachable. Remove the old fat fuck and his goons before he destroys the rest of the world on his way out. No fucking joke. Take care of yourselves. (2/2)
